Adopt a Pointer in New York

Pointer mixes share the breed's elegant athleticism, sweetness, and strong prey drive. They appear in rescue when their bird-dog energy outpaces family life. A rescued Pointer thrives with running, hiking, or fieldwork as part of the routine.

New York has a dedicated rescue dog community, with major organizations in New York City and throughout the state. Many NYC-area rescues transport dogs from overcrowded Southern shelters, giving adopters access to a wide variety of breeds.
